Automating, Optimizing, and Improving. An introduction to Microsoft Flow & PowerApps

In this SharePoint/Office 365 User Group session, we demonstrate the convergence of Microsoft technologies and will show the group how SharePoint, Microsoft Flow, and PowerApps come together to automate a critical business process. Kiefer Senior Consultant, Satya Cherukumilli, will demonstrate how he automated and optimized a business workflow using Microsoft Flow and PowerApps.

The demo will show how a workflow is kicked-off, the process of routing and review, and ultimately, how approvals work in the workflow. We will give you an up-close look at how the solution was built, how it can have a significant impact on a process that is manual in nature or paper-based. The demo will focus on a simple workflow that is common across all organizations, large and small! We’ll also share other practical applications for Flow and PowerApps in this informative 1-hour session.

In this session:

  • Learn more about Microsoft Flow & Power Apps
  • See a demo of a Microsoft Flow that was built specifically for this session
  • The Kiefer team shares other common processes that are ready for optimization using Flow and PowerApps
  • Q & A with Satya

Satya is new to the area, but has delivered numerous sessions as a member of the SharePoint User Group in Alabama. Join us for a session that will help you get familiar with these new offerings from Microsoft and get a deeper understanding of how SharePoint integrates with the full-suite of Office 365 applications.
